Most well-known as a YouTuber, Paul has since worked as a full-time member of the Monday Night Raw roster and has had matches against the likes of AJ Styles, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins.

Despite his surprising athleticism, a good number of fans are still not sold on The Maverick. That being said, it seems that Paul couldn't care less.
...
During an episode of his podcast Impaulsive, Paul called out fans who he claims said that they wanted to see him released alongside the likes of Braun Strowman, Dakota Kai, and other fan-favorites in the recent releases.
"Some people are mad I didn't get fired in the last round of WWE releases, they let a lot of people go," Paul said. "Not your boy."
"Dude, the way I see it, you can't let go a future world heavyweight champion.... That would just be ridiculous."
Afterward, he tried to convince guest Adin Ross that he is not seen as a bad guy in the WWE.

Next up, Paul is set to face Jey Uso for the World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night's Main Event on May 25, 2025. Still, fans are not happy about the match up.
This is largely because of the general resentment surrounding Paul, not because of his heelish actions inside the ring, but because of his controversial actions outside of it.
Despite this, there are those who will stand up for Paul, including WWE Superstar Carlito, who believes Paul earned the right to be called a wrestler.
"He's earned the right to be called a wrestler," Carlito said in an interview. "He can actually get in there and do some damage. I like when they come in and they actually take it seriously and then do great things, WWE is on a good streak of people to come in [when] they're not just there to be a celebrity of just get their face on WWE TV.
"They actually put the work in and they've done great work. I don't really get starstruck, I don't care enough. I'm the worst fan ever. I'm not going to stand in line for anybody or chase them around for a picture, that's just not me."
